Manhattan

A woman exiting a Morningside Heights subway station in broad daylight fought off a brazen thug attempting to sexually assault her, cops said.

The 36-year-old victim was climbing the stairs of the Cathedral Parkway subway station near 110th Street at around 3:30 p.m. on Jan. 4 when the sicko approached from behind, pulled down her pants and attempted to drag her into the station by her ­undergarments, cops said.

The victim screamed at the top of her lungs and the attacker finally fled through the station, cops added.

Police described the suspect as approximately 35 years old, standing 6 feet tall and weighing 250 pounds.

A car-break-in suspect had to be rescued from the icy water off Manhattan Beach after he jumped into the drink in a futile bid to escape capture, authorities said.

Steven Fishman, 20, was allegedly spotted by campus security breaking into a vehicle in a parking lot at Kingsborough Community College at about 1 p.m. Tuesday.

The suspect made a run for it with guards close behind, and jumped into the freezing water by the oceanside campus, authorities said.

He quickly floundered and started screaming for help, cops said.

“He jumped in and quickly realized he wasn’t going to be able to swim to Mexico,” a source said.

Members of the FDNY scuba team searched the water for about 30 minutes, found the suspect, jumped in and lifted him onto the rocky shoreline, cops said.

They then placed him onto a backboard and loaded him into an ambulance, officials said.

Fishman was taken to Coney Island Hospital for treatment of hypothermia.

He was arrested and charged with petit larceny, resisting arrest, possession of stolen property and unlawful possession of a vehicle, cops said.

Two thieves went on a shopping spree with a stolen credit card — all while the victim was passed out on a subway train in Sheepshead Bay, authorities said.

The 22-year-old victim was aboard the Q train near Gravesend Neck Road and East 16th Street early in the morning of Dec. 8, according to police.

He woke up at around 8 a.m. and discovered that his wallet was missing, cops said.

It was unclear if the victim had dropped the wallet somewhere or if the thieves had snatched it from him on the train.

The crooks wasted little time with the victim’s plastic, using the credit card to make a purchase at the Dunkin’ Donuts outlet on Brighton Beach Avenue near Brighton 7th Street at about 5:50 a.m., cops said.

They then used the card at a Stop & Shop on Avenue Y near East 18th Street at 7 a.m., cops said.

A hoodlum shot a man in broad daylight on a street in Canarsie, authorities said.

The victim was on Avenue M near Canarsie Road Wednesday at around 1:30 p.m. when an unknown gunman shot him in the torso and fled, according to police.

The victim was rushed to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition.

No arrests have been made at this time.

Police said the victim was being uncooperative in their investigation, which is continuing.

The Bronx

A stroller-pushing suspect stole a wallet from an ­elderly woman at a Burger King outlet in Bedford Park, cops said.

The 72-year-old victim was at the fast-food restaurant on East Fordham Road near Valentine Avenue at around noon on Jan. 4 when the suspect snatched the wallet and fled, according to law-enforcement authorities.

The victim reported that her wallet contained $80 in cash, a Medicare card, a driver’s license and a Macy’s gift card, according to police.
